Ivybridge integrated station systems

TDM installed CCTV, customer information system (CIS) displays and Help Points at Ivybridge for GWR as a single Station Information and Security Systems (SISS) programme, from survey to handover.

The requirement

Ivybridge had no CCTV coverage and relied on older Help Points. The station needed:

• CCTV cameras that meet Network Rail and Home Office standards.
• New CIS displays for real-time passenger information.
• The existing Help Points replaced.
• ES4 and ES5 design, Network Rail Approval in Principle and Landlord’s Consent before any installation.

Long cable distances meant the systems could not run from one equipment location.

What TDM delivered

• Hanwha Vision XNB-6000 and XNV-6080 cameras, recording to a Hanwha Vision XRN-1620SB1 network video recorder with Seagate SkyHawk drives.
• Infotec FM42W+DW NTI CIS displays on bespoke gallows brackets.
• TDM two-button GSM Help Points in place of the legacy units.
• Rainford Solutions 25U double-bay and single-bay external cabinets, with a node cabinet on each platform.
• Cisco Catalyst 9200L switches and Riello SDH 2200 ER UPS units.
• OM4 fibre and CAT6 cabling linking the cabinets and devices.

How the work was done

• Survey. Site surveys set the design requirements for CCTV, CIS and Help Points.
• Design and consents. TDM produced the ES4 and ES5 designs for Network Rail approval and secured Landlord’s Consent.
• Workshop pre-configuration. TDM configured all the equipment in its Crawley workshop to reduce installation time and risk on site.
• Installation. The node cabinets went in on each platform, followed by the fibre, the cabling and the devices.
• Commissioning. An Inspection and Test Plan confirmed compliance and operational performance.
• Handover. TDM handed the systems to GWR and its SISS maintainer on site, with O&M documentation and Entry into Service.

The result

Ivybridge has CCTV coverage for the first time. CCTV, CIS and Help Points came into service through one programme and one contractor.
